The WNC Board of Ordained Ministry is inviting you to help celebrate the years of faithful service of WNCC Retiring Clergy by making a gift to an initiative called Pass-the-Mantle, which will provide scholarships for WNCC seminary students.
Pass-the-Mantle is a partnership of the Western North Carolina Conference and the United Methodist Foundation of Western North Carolina. Each year, some funds will be immediately dispersed as scholarship awards that year, and others will be invested for long-term growth so they might multiply and benefit future generations of clergy. The gift (but not the amount) will be acknowledged to the honoree.
You can donate online using the link below or send a check payable to the United Methodist Foundation of Western North Carolina, with the pastor’s name in the memo line and mail it to: Pass-the-Mantle, 13816 Professional Center Dr, Suite 100, Huntersville, NC 28078.
